The Rob Roy

This classic cocktail was created in 1894 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City.

It’s a Manhattan made with Scotch whisky instead of Canadian rye or bourbon. It can be enjoyed at almost any time of day or night and makes a particularly good aperitif.

"The simplicity of this cocktail is an excellent example of how quality ingredients and skill in execution make the drink. Just like cooking a classic Italian pasta dish, it will only be as good as the ingredients that go into it. It must be measured perfectly, diluted properly and served with a flourish." -KEITH TRUSLER, CANADIAN BRAND AMBASSADOR
